About me:

It is approximately 5:03 AM where this user lives.
This user has been on Wikipedia for 17 years and 24 days.
enThis user is a native speaker of the English language.

This editor is a WikiGnome.
I generally try to be helpful on this wiki, usually by fixing random grammar and spelling mistakes as I encounter them, and reverting vandalism.

inclThis user is an inclusionist.

sepaThis user is a Wikipedia separatist.

☹ This user feels that deletions subject to a popularity contest rather than a verifiability test damage Wikipedia more than any userbox ever could.
I object to the erasure of entire articles filled with content, or turning them into redirects, just because a random wikipedian thinks the subject matter is "not notable enough".  This is an online encyclopedia, and a lot of people probably put a lot of time and effort into creating these articles.  Arbitrary removal of their work for trivial reasons is against the spirit of this website.

I will revert any such ridiculous edits that I come across.  The bigger and more complete Wikipedia is, the better — Wikipedia is not limited by size constraints, so any merging intended to shrink the topic can only be harmful to the spread of knowledge.


That said, I am a true Wikipedian:
  • All my edits on Wikipedia are public domain.  Feel free to re-write and improve any of my contributions.
  • I reserve the right to completely re-write every edit of yours that I see on Wikipedia... without asking any permission to do so.

This user believes copyright laws are harmful and that RE, sharing and modifying are inalienable rights.

This user finds censorship offensive.
I have violated copyright laws, unknowingly and deliberately, enough times for every government on Earth to have me jailed for a million years... and guess what?  I firmly avow that I have done nothing wrong.  Knowledge cannot be considered "property", and nobody can criminalize the free spread of knowledge.  If it's on the internet, it's an open invitation to share that knowledge, and I personally treat anything online as part of public domain.

I believe all copyright and patent laws are immoral and a waste of time: tools for the rich to prey on the poor, and horde knowledge and power at the upper levels of society.  Copyright itself is the enemy, and those who willingly and openly violate it are heroes and freedom fighters.  As someone who values my own conscience above whatever written laws say, I have no compunctions about violating any and all copyright laws, anytime it feels morally correct and justifiable to do so.

I therefore REJECT the Wikipedia's policy on copyrights, and refuse to comply with any such demands for conformity.  Sue me... or just edit my offending contribution, since that'd be easier anyway.
